Marine Traffic map

Welcome to the Cruise & Ferry Marine Traffic Map. You can move around the map using the pan and zoom functions, or by simply clicking and dragging. Use the Search and Filter icons to find specific ships, ship types and ports on the map.

This Marine Traffic Map is part of an open, community-based project that provides free real-time information about ship movements and ports. The data collection is based on the Automatic Identification System (AIS). As from December 2004, the International Maritime Organization requires all vessels over 299gt to carry an AIS transponder onboard, which transmits their position, speed and course, as well as static information, such as vessel’s name, dimensions and voyage details.

CruiseandFerry.net is the online home of International Cruise & Ferry Review, a twice-yearly magazine that is also available for subscription in both printed and digital formats.

Via our website, magazine and social networks, we aim to be the world's best supplier of news and insight into the global passenger shipping industries. Our content covers both the cruise and ferry businesses, and provides our audience with insight into building and refurbishment, marine operations, onboard experience, ports and destinations and more.
